I haven't, would it make good mood board material for my designs?

They say I'm the fastest skewer in the west.

oooh eerrr missus
edit: i think Benny Hill had a UK top ten hit along the same lines if I'm not mistaken ( @WashYourHands may be able to confirm or deny )
edit: I think the Benny Hill tune was something about the fastest "milk man in the west" but I'm sure there's a 'connotation' involving kebabs and prostates and condoms that we can exploit here, but at who's expense i'm not sure

Well I'm skewer than Benny Hill, indeed I'm the skewest of them all. Are you drunker than I am right now @william_kent ?

I'm actually not that drunk, did a short bar crawl earlier though, had a spritz of sorts, a saison, and a milk stout.

I'm posting pictures of rubbered pork skewers with my professional handle seared on them, and you're the one concerned with deleting your posts? You may need another drink!

Ha ha, but I was joking man, I thought the previous one was fine. As a rule I think that the more wonky/irregular it is the better it is really.

What are you guys doing to my thread filled with beautiful sleek mid century design... well, more like plastic and tatty design, but for all that it was from maybe the last time when the world was filled with hope and genuinely dared to dream of an actual future in which we would rocket into the stars clad in curved plastic and metal wearing outrageous sunglasses that were bigger than the girls' skirts. After that final atomic flame burnt out it was a retreat into po-mo retreads and ironic distancing. And jokes about kebabs in condoms apparently...

I took a photo or two on my last holiday in the former DDR
it's STAN that has lowered the tone

What about films with this aesthetic? There must be some films filled with weird diners, cars with fins, girls in asymmetric minis and huge plastic sunglasses, crisp white backgrounds and peculiarly twisted yet coolly minimal furniture etc etc there simply must be... but I can't think of any really.
Maybe Logan's Run but that's not quite it somehow cos it's actual future rather than space-facing fashion.
Help me on this.

I guess Blowup is more mod than googie, but similar anyway.
Maybe Modesty Blaise?
American Graffiti I guess is more just mid-century americana, but a lot of those 50s cars are kinda googie.
I haven't seen Forbidden Planet, but that might qualify:
Tarkovsky's Solaris?
Clockwork Orange is another one that probably is between mod and googie:
